Chapter 1891: Chapter 1891: Plotting to Seize Military Power
“It’s precisely because I don’t know, that I have been busy investigating, neglecting you, my dear wife.”
“Have you found anything?”
“Not yet! The old Emperor is very cunning, probably thinking of seizing military power.”
The Emperor has had this intention for a long ti; Long Rui is very aware of the Emperor’s thoughts. He also understands very well that without military power as a shield, the Emperor might ruthlessly attack him without hesitation.
Thus, he absolutely won’t hand over military power. Holding onto it not only serves as a tool of power but, more importantly, as a talisman of survival. With it, the Emperor wouldn’t dare act recklessly against the War Prince’s Mansion.
Xuexue is very clear about Long Rui’s situation. She has been pondering deeply these days. Even if Long Rui wanted to retire bravely, the Emperor still wouldn’t let him go. Rather than that, why not rebel against the Emperor and seize the throne herself.
“Big Bull.”
“Hmm?”
“Have you ever thought about not being dependent on the Emperor one day?”
“Dear wife, what do you an?”
“The Emperor is muddle-headed and can’t tolerate ministers with rit. He has never trusted you and has arranged so many spies in the mansion. This potential danger will undoubtedly erupt in the long run. It would be better to establish yourself as the Emperor and live a carefree life, without worrying every day.”
Such words were treacherous; in her past life, Xuexue wouldn’t dare think of it, let alone persuade Long Rui to rebel.
“Dear wife, do not say such things in the future.”
“Why not? Are you still loyal to such an Emperor?”
Xuexue is sowhat incredulous; Long Rui’s character is so cold and proud. By rights, he should long have been unable to stand the way the Emperor treats him, yet he has silently endured it. For what exactly? Xuexue can’t figure it out.
“I’m not doing it for him, but for the people of Moli Country.”
Years ago, when the neighboring country invaded, Moli Country was filled with smoke and its people were displaced. Many carried bundles, fleeing with their families; it was a miserable sight. So starved to death on the road due to lack of food, sothing Long Rui rembers deeply.
“If it’s for the people, the Prince should all the more sit on the throne.”
As soon as Xuexue finished speaking, Long Rui suddenly looked at her seriously and called, “Dear wife.”
“Hmm?”
Long Rui is so serious that Xuexue feels a bit nervous: “Big Bull, did I say sothing wrong? Are you upset?”
“May I ask, do you wish to beco the Empress?”
“No, I don’t!”
“Really?”
“Big Bull, do you think I asked you to revolt because I want to be the Empress?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Of course not! How can you think of that way? I’m rely suggesting for your happiness, seeing your life in the War Prince’s Mansion as precarious. If you don’t want to listen, then forget it.” Xuexue’s voice is a bit displeased.
It really is true that good intentions are not rewarded; she was thinking for Long Rui’s sake, yet he thinks she wants him to rebel just to be the Empress. In his eyes, hasn’t she beco a fem fatale?
“Dear wife, don’t be angry; I was wrong.”
“Humph!”
Xuexue stood up and left, no longer paying attention to Long Rui.
Long Rui hurriedly chased after her: “Dear wife, dear wife, don’t be angry; I was wrong.”
On the road, when they passed by maids and servant boys, they couldn’t help but cover their mouths and laugh seeing their Prince chasing after Madam Situ so pitifully. The War Prince used to be very cold, icy all year round. Since Madam Situ entered the mansion, he has changed completely, becoming polite to the servants, no longer icy as before.
